Abstract

Motivated by the identification C(T)Cr(Z)C(\mathbb{T})\cong C_r^*(\mathbb{Z}) and the wave equation on the circle, we explore the wave equation in the context of reduced group CC^*-algebras Cr(G)C_r^*(G) for countably infinite, possibly non-abelian groups GG. Using a one-parameter group of *-automorphisms whose infinitesimal generator paves the way to an analogue of the Laplacian, we establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the wave equation within this framework.
